Justin615$ Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Maybe he and Todd Downing are just not meshing but this Tannehill is different from the past 2 years. Regardless to who the WRs are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to be fair we barely do with a full roster. But not gonna make this about him, at lease I won't. He was just something that sticks out as something that is wrong with this offense. But as far the whole year, we can't ignore him practically leading the NFL in INTs. He used to take care of the ball so well. Now he throws about 3 interceptable passes a game. Nah, he definitely was poor in the 2nd half today. Whether it was down to him just sucking or the Patriots just took away whatever little bit of success we could find with our weapons won't be known until film is out I guess, but either way, just wasn't good enough. But as far as risk taking in general goes, I think you have to keep going with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I would rather not risk rushing dudes back and having them taking long term injuries or continuous ones that screw in the end. Ultimately, great health for our first playoff game may be more important than a bye. Edited November 28, 2021 by twotonebluenation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless to who the WRs are. I think one of the biggest hits the passing game has taken is that Downing continues to try to run those quick hit crossers that were a staple for Art, but defenses are disguising linebackers dropping right into those throwing lanes with alarming consistency. Those had been a huge source of explosiveness for the offense since Tannehill took over and now they’re incredibly hit and miss and have led to some terrible looking passes/interceptions. Not sure if there’s something on film that is tipping them, but probably need to work off of them to punish defenses, rather than just making it an automatic one-read play call.

I would be interested to know just how often opposing teams are dropping rushers into throwing lanes. Is it something that is happening all the time and we only really notice it when Tannehill throws right into it or is there a correlation between called slants and crossers and the LB dropping out?

TitanLegend Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Able to move the ball super well despite that. If only we could have scored to go along with it lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The special teams difference was such a killer in a game where you’re facing a talent disadvantage on the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twotonebluenation Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 I still think honestly, even if we get remotely healthy, we can compete in what is a mess of an afc. It's a shot in hell, but if we get back Henry, AJ, Julio, and Dupree for the playoffs we can take the AFC. Even without a bye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeluxx3 Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Realistically, another team will emerge for the 1 seed. Yes I know the AFC is crazy we should stay focused on winning the division, and it’s totally ours to lose pray we get healthy and get a chance to get a bit of cohesion on the last 3 weeks of the season for some momentum into the playoffs that’s our best hope imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
